posted on 2011-12-30, 21:34 authored by Anand Kumar, Elizabeth Schupp, Eugene Bunnell, Amjad Ali, Barry Milcarek, Joseph E ParrilloStroke volume index at baseline was not significantly different between survivors and non-survivors. Change in stroke volume index from baseline at the point of maximal cardiac output response during dobutamine challenge. Change in stroke volume was the strongest predictor of outcome among tested variables (p = 0.0003). A cut-off value of 8.5 mL/mincrease in stroke volume index (indicated by the dotted line) correctly categorised outcome in 21 of 23 subjects with only one mismatch in each group. Dash indicates mean values.
